Kill me now, but this thing stemmed from the argument about incest. Basically it was decided by the others that incest would be ok, were it not for the fact that the fruit of all incestuous relations were prone to birth defects. I am merely making the point that since all homosexual couples lack at least one biological parent it puts them in a group with an increased risk of abuse. If one is a legitimate reason, why not the other.

The data was from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System, but I forget where specifically it came from, so it may or may not have included adoption.
